Only time would tell

The clock hand ticks slowly, like a feather in the breeze 
I sit there waiting and waiting, like water about to freeze
I watched your silhouette as you left the room with ease 
I whispered don't go, come back to me, please

You used to smile at jokes I made, I remember laughing too
You used to tell me stories, every one was always true 
I look back now at happy days, as sad ones were a few 
I never got tired of seeing you, the butterflies still feel new

The streets feel dark, the sky looks grey
As I walk home alone one day in May
When you left I felt astray 
But what I said or did would never make you stay 

She's prettier than me, now that is clear to see 
Her eyes sparkle brightly, they're as blue as the sea
You told me not to cry, that we weren't meant to be 
That we were locked in a cage, needing to be set free

If fate took it's toll and the right choice was made 
Then why does my heart ache, cut in half with a blade
